A video of the headmaster of a school at Mirzapur Uttar Pradesh, holding a class 2 boy dangling him by his foot over the top of the school building has gone viral.
In the video which was presumably captured by one of the distraught spectators, the headmaster, identified as Manoj Vishwakarma, held a class 2 boy, identified as Sonu, by one of his feet, and was dangling him over the top of the building, while scolding and asking him to apologize for some misdeeds towards another student…of course, the frightened boy kept on screaming.
“Sonu is very mischievous… he bites children, he also bites teachers. His father asked us to correct him. So, we tried to scare him. He was hung upside down from the upper floor for fear,” the School instructor said in his defense.
The school’s headmaster, Manoj Vishwakarma, was arrested and charged under the Juvenile Justice Act, though the boy’s father pleaded that they don’t have any problem with his actions because, although what he did was wrong, he only did it to correct their son.
